- We have high expectations and hopes that things will move up even a little more.

But we keep expectations reasonable, says Pernilla Wikelund, district chairman in Kronoberg.

The reason why Pernilla Wikelund is still a little cautious about celebrating is that the party had higher numbers in the polling station survey in the 2018 election than the final election result.

"The fifth choice that we increase"

But both she and her colleague in Kalmar county, Martin Kirchberg, still believe that their party will be the second largest in the parliamentary election.

- We are delighted that we have become so big.

It is the fifth election that we have increased, says Martin Kirchberg, regional councilor and district chairman of the Sweden Democrats in Kalmar County, who is at a well-attended election vigil in Kalmar Hall.
